Wages and the Tariff.

An English writer. discussing the,
tariff question. admits that, notwith-
standing the fact that higher wages
are paid in the Unite'l States to work
ing-men than in England. we are sup
plying England and her colonies with
many manufactured goods, in direct
competition with English manufact-
urers. Some of his sentences are preg-
nant. For instances:
The average American working-man lives
one hundred per cent better than the average
working man does in Great Britain, because ho
has higher wages and cheaper food in greater
variety.

Trunks and Their Cost.

"The Saratoga trunk continues to be
the most popular" said a well-known
trunk dealer to reporter. ut is
light. roomy, and contains a patent
tray which has seized upon the fancy Of
the public. For travelling short dis
tances. or going out of town for the
summer. it is the best that is made.
For European travel. a sole-leathcr
trunk is the best because the strongest.
These trunks are more expensive than
the Saratoga and less roomy, but they
stand the hardest kind Of treatment.
Saratoga trunks average in price from
Sc to $50, whereas sole-lcather trunks
run from S25 to 800. The latest idea
in trunks is to have looking glass at
tached to the bottom of the tray. II

GOOD HOME hAaks1a

-
What The Proteeslen Policy Has Dose fo0
the Harmsrs u the CO1ntry.
The effect Of protective tariff in the
German Empire has been to supply the
farmer with . home market for his
grain. Germany has, for all practical
purposes, passed out of the list Of grain
exporting nations. Her farmers NO
longer dread the effect Of the develop
ment Of England's East Indian wheas
fields; they are sure of home market
for the feeding of the vast army Of
manufacturing laborers which q pro-
tective policy has called into existence.
In this country the continually in
creasing area of the wheat fields has
kept the grain supply in excess OF tho
home demand. but the home demand.
nevertheless. is increasing in greater
ratio than the home supply. In plain
language. the United States now
exports smaller proportion OF
grain to the total crop than in
the free-trade period, and will di-
minish that proportion as protection
continues to build up manufacturing
and commercial ccnters.
Last year the United States exported
less than a one-hundredth part of its
oat crop, less than twenty-fifth of its
corn. raised less potatoes than it used
by 1,945. O2S bushels. which it imported
from Canada and the British posses
siOns. and was also an importer of hay
to the amount of 80. LIS tons. Wheat
is the only grain now raised for which
a foreign market is still an absolute
necessity, and of this about one-eighth
of last years crop was exported.
The total measure of the wheat crop
of 1886 was 1918. 900 bushels; that of
1850 was less than 100000 bushels;
SO that the increase of production
is much more than 400 per
cent. in thirty-six years. but the
increase in exports has grown in
no such ratio. In fact, they have made .
marked decrease. being of the value Of
$3.50. SAC. sos in 1880, $167. 69S. 4S5 in
1881. and only s72.9SS,O97 in 1885.
while in 1886 the exports were less than
$4,000 900 Bushels, at prices ranging
between 68 and 80 cents, IS cents be-
ing the average.
These figures are conclusive as to the
rapid emancipation from fears of COM
petition with the pauper labor Of
India, which protection is working out
for the American farmer. They indl-
cate the near approach of a time when
the farmer will be supplied with
home market for his grain. the manu-
facturer with home market for his
goods. and the whole country self
supporting, self-protecting. and. there
fore. prosperous and happy.-Chicogo

In 1861 the protective system was
inaugurated. From 1850 to 1860 the
increase in the number of sheep in the
entire country was only about 700, 600.
From 1860 to 1870 the increase was
over 100000. From 1860 to 1885
the number of sheep had increased
about two and one-half times. In
1888 we raised six times the amount OF
wool that we did in 1850 In 1888 the
value of the wool crop was $l20. co.,
900, and the value of the muttOr
killed was $50. 900. In 1883 oul
wooden manufacturers consumed 356,.
5000 pounds of wool, or sc. 500, 9N
pounds more than was raised in the
United States.
Every sensible man knows that Il
we had to depend upon England for
our supply of wool and wooden goods.
that the latter country would at once
raise the price of both. The tariff ON
wool tends to increase the price the
farmer gets for his wool But the
enormous competition between the
American manufacturers themselves
in wooden goods keeps the price Of the
latter at far less rates than they would
be if we ceased to manufacture at
home. and depended upon the foreign
made articles.
The tariff on wool has proved Of inn
mense value to the country at large.
and the attacks now being made upon
this industry. by proposing to place
wool upon the free list, should be re-
garded as striking deadly blow at
the interests of the farmer, and at
tempting to ruin one of the most i'm
pOrtant industries of the county

DEATH OF GEN. JoHN a. LOGAN.


Though somewhat sudden in this
instance, yet gradually the leading
actors in the great contest from
1861 to 1865, are passing away.
Still closer are the lines of those
remaining drawn together. Lin
coin, Stephens, Grant, Lee, Nc
Clellen, Hood, Hardee, Hancock and
Others, and, now, Logan, will hence
forth be known through the mem,
cries of their deeds in that great
contest. And in little while longer
the last of them will have gone;
and, whatever may have been
thought of them during the heat of
passion, the glory Of their deeds will
remain after the light of their lives
have faded away.
Whether of success or failure,
history will narrate their strength
and their weakness. But there has
come by their deaths a blessing, of
which their lives we're, to the same
extent, incapable. There has been,
and III each instance, All abatement
of the fierce popular passions,
which, at time, their deeds embit
tered. In serious contemplation al
the death of each of these great
actors, calmer reason has had hel
sway; nObler sentiments claimed the
mastery, and the hostile feelings
which gathered around them in war
gave place to peaceful sorrow al
their graves.
i No one can read the expression,
uttered OH the announcement of the
death of General Logan, by the
leaders OF public?thought, by those
/ who were as we'll bis foes during
the war as bis political opponents
since, without feeling that in earthly
death there is a victory of more
UNITED patriotism.
/ OF General Logan, it seems to b,
conceded by his compeers, that, al
an officer, he was able, and fearless
AS a politician, frank, free from
F venality, ambitious in honorabl,
} ways, was possessed. of a vigorous
mind, firm in his positions, stead
fast in his friendships,and generou
in his impulses. A people, will
good reasons, now mourn hi
death.
